Thanks Rich and Greg for letting me know about this.
In 2.5 alpha I added a new command in the INNO installer script
to run:
     exw makecon installpath
Unfortunately, I should have put double quotes around
the install path, so a path with a blank in it 
wouldn't look like two separate words on the command line.
I'll fix that for the beta.

Windows/Linux/FreeBSD Euphoria fully supports long filenames
and paths containing blanks. DOS Euphoria also supports 
long filenames in most cases.
